County Road No.159甲 (159a) was the forerunner of AliShan Highway decades ago, connecting Chia-yi city and a small mountain village called Shi-zhuo . After the completion of new AliSHan Highway (Provincial Highway no.18), County Road 159a has become less important in transporting travellers. However, this road still boasts beautiful scenery, rugged cliffs and sometimes a sea of clouds, and is an alternative to go to AliShan if you don't want to go by train.
I took this road by bicycle this winter. It is great! Less traffic than on 18th and a lot of crazy turns. What is the music in the background. Great video!
